The Pelicans were without starting forward Dante Cunningham on Friday against the Suns after the NBA suspended him for a DUI citation in Washington state in the offseason.

Cunningham, who played for the Trail Blazers for three seasons, was pulled over in Clark County, Wash., near Portland, Ore., for going 67 mph in a 40 mph zone on June 17. He failed a field sobriety test and his blood-alcohol content was measured at .094, over the state's legal limit of .08, according to The Columbian‎.
